Draft Grade — Steelers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in the 195th pick lands the Steelers a B+, Hadden and all.

The real work happened on the phones. The Steelers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

However the rest shakes out, Hadden at that price is a win they earned. They will answer for taking offensive lineman early while edge rusher, running back and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick No. 28 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
The board had Keon Coleman higher than Round 2, Pick 19, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick60 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went offensive lineman with Zach Frazier while clear needs at edge rusher, running back and other spots sat open.
Pick84 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
They paid a round early for Caelen Carson in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick120 Rnd4 Tyler Davis
Tyler Davis at the 120th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick134 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Beau Brade in No. 134 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick195 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick 195 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in slot 200 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Taking Michael Barrett in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
